SAFETY-RAZOR CLEANER.

Application filed April 28, 1928. $e1ial No. 273,583.

I The present invention relates to attachments for safety razors of the Gillette type and has for its object to provide a combined cleaner for the prongs of the blade guard and shield for preventing the lather from dripping down the handle of the razor. A'further object of the invention is to provide an attachment of this character which maybe formed either of a permanent i'iat-ure for use upon the razor or which may be constructed of inexpensive material so that the attachment may be discarded after each use of the razor. A still further object is to provide an attachment of this character of a simple and 5 practical construction, which is neat and attractive in appearance, which will not interfere with the shaving operation, relatively inexpensive to manufacture and otherwise well adapted for the purposes for which the same is intended. Other objects and advantages reside in the special construction, combina tion and arrangements of the various elements forming the invention as more fully hereinafter described and claimed, reference being had to the accompanying drawings forming part hereof, wherein like numerals refer to like parts throughout the specification and in which Figure 1 is an end elevational view of the razor showing a pair of the attachments ar ranged at the opposite cutting edges thereof,

Figure 2 is a side elevational view, and

Figure 3 a perspective view of the com bined cleaner and shield.

Referring now tothe drawing in detail, I have shown my invention adapted for use upon a razor of the well known Gillette type indicated at 5 and which is provided with a blade guard 6 and blade retaining head 7 between which the blade 8 is secured. The

guard is provided with a series of spaced finof the guard and shaped so as to extend over 10 inserted between tlieblade 8 and the edge the edge of the guard with a series of open ings 11 formed adjacent the edge through which the fingers 9 of the guard are inserted, the openings being adapted to form a snug fit with said fingers. The material extends in wardly from the ed 'e of the guard toward the handle in an arcuate formation and with its edge 12 opposite from. the edge 10 spread outwardly from the handle so as to deflect any dripping from the cutting edge of the razor away from the handle. As shown in Figure 2 of the drawing the cleaner and shield has substantially the same width as the cutting end of the razor. Figure 1 illustrates the manner in which a pair of the attachments may be arranged on the razor although it is to be understood that only a singleattaclb ment may be carried thereon, if desired. It will be apparent that when removing the attachment from the razor that the fingers will be wiped free of any accumulation of lather.

comprising a sheet of substantially rigid material having one edge arranged for attachment to the razor and having openings for receiving the fingers of the blade guard whereby to wipe the fingers free of lather upon removal of the cleaner fromv the razor.
